Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly to save Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claim for academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return to the reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilson along with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of all ages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hanging on a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and just enough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-system ending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and frequently funny movie. Featuring Jeremy Piven and Juliette Lewis, with cameos by Snoop Dog, Andy Dick, and others. --Bret Fetzer

The World According to Sesame Street

When the Children's Theater Workshop's Sesame Street first aired on television in 1969, it was a revolutionary new show aimed specifically at preschool children--an audience previously untargeted by television programming. Exhaustively-researched and tested on real audiences of preschoolers, this "experiment in kid programming" aimed to teach preschoolers the alphabet, numbers, body parts, rhyming, and basic reasoning skills while thoroughly entertaining them. Through the use of humor, the amazing puppetry of Frank Oz and Jim Henson, animation, the incredibly catchy music of Joe Raposo and Jeffrey Moss, and a fast-action pace borrowed from the television commercial format, Sesame Street was, and still is, more successful at educating and entertaining children than anyone initially imagined. What's more, the lessons learned by generations of preschoolers went far beyond simple school-readiness skills to include values like acceptance, cooperation, and inclusiveness because the urban Sesame Street was a place populated by people and monsters young viewers could identify with, where anything could happen, and where every ethnicity, generation, and species co-existed and interacted harmoniously.

Sesame Street: Old School Volume 1 1969-1974 offers a sampling of the first five seasons of Sesame Street and includes the first episode of each season in its entirety as well as a large selection of classic segments from each season highlighting some of the most memorable sketches ("Bein' Green," "Rubber Duckie," "Whistle a Happy Tune," and Super-Grover in "Telephone Booth"), favorite human characters like Bob and Mr. Hooper, and guest appearances by celebrities like Bill Cosby, Lena Horne, Jackie Robinson, Carol Burnett, and Jesse Jackson. Adult viewers will be transported back in time as they witness Bert's frustration with his ever-noisy roommate Ernie, chuckle at the antics of Grover and his demanding customer in Grover's Restaurant, and wonder if Snuffleupagus will ever show himself to someone besides Big Bird. Other well-remembered moments include pinball number count, the baker who inevitably tumbles down the stairway with a handful of cream pies, the ever-munching Cookie Monster, "Here is Your Life" segments, Bert "Doin' the Pigeon," and the inevitably grumpy Oscar the Grouch. Post-Elmo preschoolers and their parents will laugh, learn, grow, and connect with one another as they share this classic compilation of Sesame Street moments. Bonus features include the original sales pitch reel (introduced by Joan Ganz Cooney and hosted by Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog) and a thick booklet rich with history, trivia, and a pullout activity section for children. (Ages 2 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Sunny Days Are Back Again.......2007-06-26

I always knew I had an elephant's memory, yet it blew my mind how many Sesame Street segments there were swimming around my unconscious, stuff I'd forgotten that I'd remembered...like the hypnotic "hey cow, I see you now"...and the trippy animated number segments sung by Grace Slick...and all those fabulous Muppet moments.

At the age of 36, I fall into the sweet spot of the Old School demographic, but I'm not sure why the Sesame Street Workshop (which I knew as the Children's Television Workshop) felt compelled to stick in that animated disclaimer about how little kids today wouldn't like it and that its value is strictly nostalgic.

The sales reel, starring Kermit and Rawlf (I didn't know this muppet dawgy existed in 1969!) and the geniuses who created the show and did all that test marketing with their intended audience, is, just like the actual show, both entertaining and educational.

Watching Old School made me so happy (despite not having had the happiest childhood in the world) that now I'm going to have to get the Electric Company on DVD.

Slow and relaxing, but we need more of it!.......2007-06-20

My only complaint about this is there's only five episodes. I don't expect to have all them, there were hundreds, but one for each letter would be nice. The thing I've really noticed is the slow pace of the show. It's really nice. Kids' shows today are so fast-paced, it's no wonder they can't sit still! My five-year-old is really enraptured. She's only seen the current Sesame Street a handful of times. When she watches it, she picks up Elmo's annoying habit of calling himself Elmo and Baby Bear's bad diction and I spend a week undoing the damage. I'm really glad to have a few "real" episodes for her to watch, I just wish there were a a few more. I'm enjoying it, too. I'd forgotten about the guy who falls down the steps with his pies. She thinks it's funny, too! We haven't seen it all. I hope Kermit is on one of the episodes. I just love "Kermit the Frog, reporting for Sesame Street News."

Edited to add: One of the features on the second disk is a selection of songs. There is a "play all" option, but it only plays the first song. That needs to be fixed.

The wait is over!.......2007-06-12

I had been looking for the Sesame Street show on DVD. Well, it's here and it's wonderful. Classic Sesame Street at it's best. Very educational and entertaining. My son is almost 4 and he loves it! If your child is going to watch t.v. it might as well be Sesame Street.

poor video.......2007-06-02

worst video we've bought - stick to the newer videos - the kids like them better.

Not what expected.......2007-05-25

I loved seeing the old skits that I remembered and loved as a child. I was so excited to share them with my children. But, I expected a complete library of all their skits from 1969-1974. They only included a few letters and numbers, and even repeated some of the skits which irritated me. I didn't pay to see the same skit about the number 2 three times and the letter D twice. My kids still love them, but I was disappointed with the collection.

Later Losers.

A Homage That Doesn't Really Work--2 1/2 Stars.......2007-02-26

OLD SCHOOL is a comedy that stars Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell. Wilson portrays Mitch Martin, a real estate lawyer who arrives home early from a business training seminar to find his wife about to participate in an orgy. This break off their relationship and Mitch finds himself alone again and moving into a house on the campus of the local university. Meanwhile Frank Richard (Will Ferrell), one of Mitch's best friends, is getting married. The other part of the trio, Bernard "Beanie" Campbell (Vince Vaughn) tries convincing Frank not to get married right up until Frank's bride arrives at the altar. Beanie has a successful business and is married to a very attractive women and has a couple of kids, but he's feeling trapped. The Dean of the University, Dean Gordon Pritchard (Jeremy Piven) threatens to seize Mitch's house, but Beanie discovers a loophole in the seizure clause and Beanie, Frank, and Mitch turn the house into a new fraternity that is open to men of all ages in the community, including those who have no association with the university whatsoever. A battle between the new fraternity and the dean ensues, while in the meantime the three founding fathers of the fraternity face relationship struggles of their own with the women they love.

OLD SCHOOL includes allusions to many movies, but seems to have been most heavily influenced by ANIMAL HOUSE and FIGHT CLUB and seems to be a homage to both of those films. The ANIMAL HOUSE allusions are obvious, e.g. popular fraternity that the dean tries to close down. The FIGHT CLUB references aren't quite as obvious, but they are there and there are many. For example, the wrestling matches take place in the basement, club propaganda is photocopied at work, the men appear disheveled at work, in many of the fraternity scenes Vince Vaughn dresses in outfits similar to those of Tyler Durden, etc. In fact director Todd Phillips has said that he thought of OLD SCHOOL as being a comedy version of FIGHT CLUB.

With such a talented cast and a witty script full of film references, one would think that OLD SCHOOL would be a memorable and hilarious movie. Unfortunately, it's not. There were some parts of OLD SCHOOL that I found incredibly funny. For instance, watching Will Ferrell streak through a party and run naked down a public street was hilarious. In fact, Ferrell is the funniest thing about the movie. Just about every time he is on screen I found myself laughing at the antics of his character. I also enjoyed Luke Wilson's performance. Wilson portrays Mitch as a very likeable, down-to-earth, and realistic person. However, Ferrell and Wilson are about the only two characters who work well in the movie. Vince Vaughn can speak almost as fast as an auctioneer, but his character just doesn't fit with the rest of the characters in the film. Jeremy Piven is a very talented actor, but in OLD SCHOOL I don't believe that his character used to be the guy that Mitch, Beanie, and Frank used to beat up and neither do I believe that was able to rise through the ranks of academia to become the university dean. Most of the women in the movie are only background characters that are used as fodder for comic material. There are a variety of scenes in the movie that seem funny at first, but are juvenile at best and then quickly become boring and dull. There are many sexual references in the movie that have very little to do with the plot and seem basically to have been thrown in simply to have thirteen-year-old males buy movie tickets or the DVD. The movie had a lot of potential, but it doesn't come together in a coherent manner.

However, with the movie on DVD, one can get a better understanding of what the movie could have been. Some of the extras on the DVD include the usual director's commentary, a spoof of "Inside the Actor's Studio", deleted and extended scenes, bloopers and outtakes, and a making of featurette. Most of the deleted and extended scenes that are included on the DVD probably should have been kept in the movie because they add a great deal to the characterization and plot development. For instance, there is a scene where a college girl wants to sleep with Beanie, but he refuses. The scene in the movie makes Beanie seem like a complete jerk while the extended scene allows the audience to relate to Beanie and actually seem him as a human being. I really enjoyed watching most of these scenes and they allowed me to appreciate the movie a bit more. The other special feature that I really liked was the "Inside the Actor's Studio spoof". I found it hilarious; seeing Will Ferrell have a conversation with himself as two different characters is hilarious.

Overall, OLD SCHOOL is a movie that will probably appeal most to teenage males and some college students as well as fans of Ferrell, Wilson, or Vaughn. Other than that, I'd skip this comedy and watch ANIMAL HOUSE instead.

Whilin out.......2007-02-21

It's a great want to get drunk and hang out with the guys (and I'm a girl)kind of movie. It will just make you laugh and laugh and laugh. And possibly want to relive glory days of college, or just act stupid. It's a toss up really. Great hanging out movie.

Lowered Expectations.......2007-01-07

What, are you people high?

Have any of you even SEEN "Animal House"? How dare anyone compare "Old School" to that great movie. Are expectations so low for modern movies that something with a few funny scenes gets five stars? And if you do give it five stars, what rating do you have for "Animal House", "CaddyShack", "A Fish Called Wanda", "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"..... really great comedies?

We know Will Ferrel can be funny (Saturday Night Live), we know Ben Stiller can be in a good comedy (There's Something About Mary) and I still believe Vince Vaughn will eventually be in a good movie....but how many Ben Stiller/Luke Wilson/Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn CRAPTACULARS do we have to sit through before they make a truly funny movie?

Don't worry, I already know I am on the outside looking in on this one. I just don't understand it.

Wish there were more.......2007-06-27

I have always loved these movies and I would love to see more like them.

Fun, nostalgic film.......2007-06-24

A great sequel to "The Trouble With Angels" that reflects the Catholic church at a time when it was actively trying to look forward, rather than regress.

A strait-laced but good-hearted older Mother Superior is convinced by a younger, progressive nun to take a load of high school girls to a peace rally (yes, a peace rally! Try that with a Catholic school these days) in California. They have various mis-adventures, and everyone learns a thing or two: Including both the older and younger nun.

Even if you're not a Catholic, you're sure to find some fun and nostalgia in this film.

Where Angels Go Trouble Follows.......2006-12-29

Yuck! I agree with the reviewers who say this shouldn't be called a sequel. This movie shows what must have gone wrong in the Church to have had such an exodus from the convents during the 70's. Thankfully, the trend is reversing. The first movie was cute. I wanted to share it (The Trouble With Angels), with my daughter and got this one by mistake. I had seen it (Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows), when I was growing up and remember being disappointed that is wasn't more like the first movie. I had to shut this "sequal" off after about 20 mins. We're going to double ck. our titles next time!

Where Angels Go... Trouble Follows.......2006-11-10

This movie is meant as a sequal to "The Trouble with Angels" which starred Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell. Hayley Mills does not appear in this sequal and her absence was a definite detraction. Although many of the other cast members are common to both movies, this sequal is definitely not as well done as its predecessor and comes across as quite "slap stick" in its humor.

Not a Pan-and-Scan.......2006-05-28

Previous reviewers are incorrect in their assertions that this DVD is a "pan and scan" version. "Where Angels Go..." was shot in the 1.85:1 format popular then and now, in which the entire 1.33:1 aspect ratio 35mm film frame was exposed during production. During theatrical exhibition, the top and bottom of the frame are "matted" in the projector to create the 1.85:1 screen aspect ratio. So, on this DVD, you are seeing MORE of the frame than was shown in theaters (the entire 1.33:1 frame). There was no panning and scanning involved in this transfer. TCM has shown the picture "matted" to re-create the aspect ratio as seen in theaters. It is simply incorrect to assume that a "full frame" version of any film on DVD has been "panned and scanned" without knowing the original production format or the theatrical exhibition format.

Kimura is one of those almost lost masters of Judo and his legendary fight witth Helio Gracie will go down in hiostory as one of the all time great battles in the ring ever as it ended with Helio Gracie having his side have to throw in the towel as his arm was broken by Kimura who was famous in Japan as the all Japan Judo champion from 1939 to 1949.

If you want a lesson in ground fighting from a real master this is the 2 set DVD you need.

Shot in full color in the early 1970's Kimura and his gropup of senior Judokas will show you why he is the one who the Kodokan missed in promoting to 10th dan.

Kano was #1 Mifune #2 and Kimura #3 this is for sure

Judo no Yondan.......2007-01-19

Exactly what I expected as far as knowing state of the art video equipment wasn't available during this time.

I've seen one of Kimura Sensei old Black and White videos before but wanted more so I could play it over and over to learn and teach the techniques.

The quality is fair and some techniques are repeated in slow-motion.

Good technique but NO ENGLISH!.......2006-05-24

Unfortunately they failed to mention there's no english dialogue or subtitles. While the techniques are interesting english would have been a big help in understanding certain moves.

awsome dvd ,stupid copy protection........2005-09-08

a must have for grapplers,along with Kimura are many greats,only thing ,that suked,was the copy right protection will not let this dvd play on some dvd players/ps2....but worked well on my computer.

Treasure.......2005-07-28

It's simply unbelievable to view these Judoka at ages ranging from 60-80 (?). This goes to prove Judo practice does not need to end after 40. The speed and agility displayed is fantastic. A MUST SEE for everyone with an incling of interest in Judo.

Cool old school judo, a few things to be aware of.......2005-06-03

I think this DVD is a lot of fun. I get a real kick out of seeing a bunch of tough middle-aged guys still pounding out the groundwork. It's also cool to see an older style of judo and get a sense of the range in judo--particularly in pre-war judo.

While I enjoyed this a lot, there are some things you should be aware of before you plunk down any money. First, there's no English language track or subtitles. on the other hand, the Japanese in the explations uses a lot of judo terms. If you're a judo player whose taken some Japanese, this might not be a big deal. It's also generally clear what the person demonstrating the technique is doing. I personally don't think this lack is so big a deal.

Second, there are no chapter divisions. On my dvd player this means fastforwarding if I want to skip to a certain section. For me this is a definite annoyance, even though it probably shouldn't tick me off me as much as it does.

Third, the blurb above makes this sound like it's a showcase of Kimura Masahiko's judo. It's not. The focus is really on kosen judo in general. They use a lot of demonstrators on the dvd. I hadn't heard of them, but someone who was more into judo history might have.

Fourth, although the blurb says it's in color, it's mostly in black and white. I couldn't care less about this, but if you do you should know.

Having said all that, I enjoyed this dvd a lot. If you're interested in pre-war judo or in judo's groundwork practitioners, this dvd is great.
